 Well, in 1917 and 1923 some of the most vicious racial violence in American history. Black workers who  had been historically confined to the South had begun to move north and to compete with whites for  factory jobs. The black workers often found jobs as strikebreakers, the only way many could could get  hired. In addition, animosity flared as black veterans returned from World War 1 insisting on the civil  rights that they had fought for in Europe. In Tulsa, 40 city blocks were leveled and 23 African America n churches and a thousand homes and businesses were destroyed. In 1921, Tulsa (about 12 percent black)  had the Southwest's most prosperous African American business community. A government report said  that 26 blacks and 10 whites had died, and another 317 were injured. A recent scholarly study concluded  that black deaths approached 100 and may have been much higher. Another incident of racial violence  that took place on New Year's Day in 1923, in the tiny black settl

 American women had the highest female literacy rate in the world. In the 1820s and for decades to come  married women could not own property, make contracts, bring suits, or sit on juries. Elizabeth Cady  Stanton and others organized the first women's rights convention in history in Seneca Falls, New York, in  1848. Women have had to overcome the oldest form of exploitations and subordination. In the fight for  women's suffrage, most of the earliest activists found their way to the cause through the abolition  movement  of the 1830s. In 1840, when Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton attended the world Anti- Slavery Convention in London, they were forced into the gallery along with all the women who attended.  Their indignation led them eight years later, to organize the first U.S. women's rights convention at  Seneca, Falls, NY. In the early years of the women's rights movement, the agenda included much more  than just the right to vote. Their broad goals included equal ac

 In 1917, Mr. Wilson made a speech for America's entry into World War 1. In that case it was a very  serious matter and had to be made immediately. It was war in all nations. American lives are being  taken in ways which it had stirred us very deeply to learn of. There were no discrimination. The   challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. Our motive will not  be revenged or the victorious  assertion, but only the vindication of right, of which we are only a single champion.  The congress declare the recent course of the imperial Germany government to be in fact nothing less than  war against the government and people of the United States. The world must be safe for democracy. We  desire no conquest, no dominion. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure the  faith and the freedom of nations can make them.  It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as  belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness b

 Thousands of African Americans troops served in the Spanish American and Philippine American wars. With that being said it was confronted with racial violence and discrimination at homes, they did so with a mix of hope, satisfaction, and disappointment. Some of the men seem enthusiastic over the idea of  enlisting in defense of the government, while some are more reserved and common-sensed, asserting that  no colored man should never again offer his services to protect a government that does not protect him. The government of the United States was not responsible nor a good leader because moat of the loyal  citizens were either burned or shot to death, like dogs, with protection. The government also ignored their  rights and claims and acted like they were all at peace and happiness. Such injustices is not tolerated by  any other civilized nation; not even in Spain guilty of such discriminations among her own citizens. As a  race what means have we for checking such unjust discriminat

Helen Hunt Jackson published a century of Dishonor, a history of the injustices visited upon Native  Americans. She will intend to expose the wrongs that was going on by her country. In the United States it was a limit between two hundred and fifty and three hundred thousands Indians, exclusive of those in  Alaska. The poorer, the more insignificant, the more helpless the band. The Indians found themselves of a  sudden surrounded by and caught up in the great influx of gold-seeking settlers, as helpless creatures on a  shore are caught up in a tidal wave. There was no time for the government to make treaties; not even time  for communities to make laws. The story of one tribe is the story of all, varied only by differences of time  and place but neither time nor place makes any difference in the main facts. To administer complete  citizenship of a sudden, all round, to all Indians, barbarous, and civilized alike. Cheating, robbing,  breaking promises those three are clearly things whic
